Muhammad al-Jisr

Sheikh Muhammad ibn Husayn ibn Muhammad al-Jisr (Arabic: محمد الجسر, romanized: Muḥammad al-Jisr; 1881–1934) was a Lebanese cleric and politician who served as the Speaker of the Parliament of Lebanon from 18 October 1927 to 10 May 1932.Al-Jisr was appointed in 1926 as a Senator for the seat of Tripoli and the Sunni sect after the announcement of the constitution.[2] He headed the Parliamentary Assembly, which was formed in 1927 and assigned to discuss the constitutional amendments proposed by the government.The Maronites, as the largest sect in the country, claimed the position to be theirs, but the Muslims objected to this because the constitution did not require it.Initially, the main candidates were Émile Eddé and Bechara El Khoury, but many deputies were leaning towards electing al-Jisr.
